<div><p>Before application backup and restoration, you must install ProtectAgent.</p>
<p>An agent host where ProtectAgent is installed is called a ProtectAgent host. The ProtectAgent host is used for process control and data transmission during backup and restoration. Before resource protection, prepare a host for installing ProtectAgent and install the software.</p>
